Learning to Choose: Behavioral Dynamics Underlying the Initial Acquisition of Decision Making

This study investigates how decision-making evolves during initial learning in rats, finding that choice performance improves with experience while response slowing persists.

The role of rat prelimbic cortex in decision making

This study investigates the role of the rat prelimbic cortex in decision-making, finding it influences decision thresholds and reveals sex-based differences in learning.

The rostral medial frontal cortex is crucial for engagement in consummatory behavior

This study investigates the role of rostral medial frontal cortex in consummatory behavior using reversible inactivation and opioid receptor stimulation in rats.

An open source platform for presenting dynamic visual stimuli

The paper describes an open-source, low-cost platform for presenting dynamic visual stimuli in operant behavior experiments, demonstrating its use in training rats to discriminate visual cues.
